Oh, I hadn't noticed that this was the very same package that comes with
Emacs.  I guess it's fine then, but to avoid any misunderstanding,
perhaps the description text could mention it explicitly ("This is the
same @code{vhdl-mode} that comes with Emacs, albeit it may be newer") or
similar wording.
